2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

But I think he would be that if Wiggins is literally the only return you can get. And if his value is that low, it may not recover. Risking a lost season with Luka is too risky. Which is why I say....

I think the more risky option with Luka is going all in and not being good enough and locking yourself into a mediocre roster. And then the star wanting out.
You saw it happen with AD and Pels. You saw it happen with the Thunder (Westbrook and George). Currently seems to be happening with Celtics as well and possibly Utah. Stars haven't gotten fed up yet because there's still time there.. I'm sure there are others over the last decade or so too. You could argue Clips may be heading this way too. If not for their dumpster diving signings of Batum and Jackson.... They'd be a first round exit the last few years. And both may be gone with no way to replace them.

And because the Mavs lack many assets atm, it's going to be harder for them to maneuver. They don't even have that 2nd star like most of these other teams had.
